Text Quotes
Evolution tells us where we came from, not where we can go  (Jerry A Coyne Quotes) In religion, faith is a virtue. In science, faith is a vice  (Jerry A Coyne Quotes) Faith is a padlock of the mind, and few keys can open it  (Jerry A Coyne Quotes) If you can’t think of an observation that could disprove a theory, that theory simply isn’t scientific  (Jerry A Coyne Quotes) These mysteries about how we evolved should not distract us from the indisputable fact that we did evolve  (Jerry A Coyne Quotes) We don’t have faith in reason; we use reason because, unlike revelation, it produces results and understanding. Even discussing why we should use reason employs reason!  (Jerry A Coyne Quotes) Some believers are fundamentalists about everything, but every believer is a fundamentalist about something  (Jerry A Coyne Quotes) It takes a profound hypocrisy to try to reconcile for others things that you can’t reconcile for yourself  (Jerry A Coyne Quotes) Damn, but science is just a constant feed of cool new facts and theories. Theology doesn’t come close  (Jerry A Coyne Quotes) Can a geology teacher blithely tell his students that the earth is flat, or a European history professor that the Holocaust didn’t happen? That’s not academic freedom, but dereliction of duty  (Jerry A Coyne Quotes) The battle for evolution seems never-ending. And the battle is part of a wider war, a war between rationality and superstition  (Jerry A Coyne Quotes) Now, science cannot completely exclude the possibility of supernatural explanation. It is possible though very unlikely that our whole world is controlled by elves. But supernatural explanations like these are simply never needed; we manage to understand the natural world just fine using reason and materialism  (Jerry A Coyne Quotes) There is no horror, no amount of evil in the world, that a true believer can’t rationalize as consistent with a loving God. It’s the ultimate way of fooling yourself.  (Jerry A Coyne Quotes) Religion is based on dogma and belief, whereas science is based on doubt and questioning  (Jerry A Coyne Quotes) You can find religions without creationism, but you never find creationism without religion  (Jerry A Coyne Quotes) We humans have many vestigial features proving that we evolved. The most famous is the appendix  (Jerry A Coyne Quotes)
